[BC] Radio engineering not a profession - 50 kW Vs. 2 Watts

[Mike McCarthy]

I think the FCC's mindset is that broadcast is professional activity 
and the licensee is already knowledgeable enough to retain properly 
trained staff.  OTOH, amateur operations answer to no one but the 
operator them self, there is no financial risk at stake, and there 
was/is no objective threshold to judge the applicant's skills and 
knowledge other than through testing.

Makes perfect sense to me.
